PRESS RELEASE: APRIL 02, 2009

The Company presented our bargaining committee with a second monetary package on April 1 and after studying the proposal, the Union Committee asked the Company to look at modifying several of the points. The Company responded on the morning of April 2nd that they would need to have discussions with several of the Operations people within the Company before any possible changes could be made. At this point we are awaiting a call from the Company concerning these changes to the package and have informed them that if they are unwilling to modify the proposal, we will likely be looking at other options before proceeding.
